Observations on John Doe

April 9, 2007 Stephanie Leary Leave a Comment

I’d been hearing for a while that John Doe was not a half-bad little show, and what with Dominic Purcell and all, I thought it would make a nice substitute for my weekly Prison Break fix. So I set the TiVo to record it, having noted that the Sci-Fi Channel was conveniently airing the pilot on Friday.

Checked back again to find eight episodes piled up. I missed the fact that the pilot was the beginning of an all-day marathon. Eep.

Watched during dinner tonight. First reaction?

I thought this was the show with the naked guy in the cardboard box. Not so much. Note to self: John Doe: Dominic Purcell naked in the woods. Profit: Adrian Pasdar naked in the cardboard box. Right. Now that we have that straight…

OMG, Dominic Purcell had hair!

… which he totally stole from David Boreanaz!

… which looked better on him!

Yes, folks, I am shallow. I’m also closing in on the end of the book and I have no idea how to get from here to there, so all this random gibbering coming from my keyboard? Pls disregard, kthnxbye.
